US Air Force PJ's(Pararescue Jumpers) and CCT's(Combat Controller's) training pipelines take more than a year to complete. This training includes Scuba diving, static line and free fall parachuting, land navigation, and SERE. PJ's also go on to learn various medical skills and become nationally certified as EMT-Paramedics. CCT's also become FAA-certified air traffic controllers. Because they often operate with other US Special Operations Forces, they must be prepared to work in all environments.

What comes after basic training in the us army?

There are a couple of answers to this. Most soldiers will go straight to Advanced Individual Training, where they learn the skills needed to do the job they enlisted for. If you joined an MOS that requires language training, you do that before AIT. The installation you go to is the Presidio of Monterey, California. Soldiers who joined MOS 18X (Special Forces Enlistment) go to a lot of schools: Infantry School, Airborne School, then Special Operations Preparation Course, Special Forces Assessment and Selection, and finally the Special Forces Qualification Course.


What do they train you in green beret boot camp?

US Army Special Forces (the Green Berets) go through the same Basic/Advanced Individual Training or One Station Unit Training any other soldier goes through. If they enter the Army as an infantryman, then go to Special Forces from there, they would go to Infantry OSUT. If they entered the Army as a cook, they would have gone through Basic and AIT for a cook. You don't enter Special Forces straight out of Basic. You're first required to have been in service long enough to have made it to E-4, then you apply to attend the Q Course, which is the selection process for Special Forces. You can apply for the Q Course regardless of what MOS you held previously - infantry, medic, mechanic, whatever.

How do you join the US Army Special Forces?

First, you enlist in the Army. You pass Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training (or One Station Unit Training, depending on what occupation you enlist for). Then you have to wait until you make the rank of Specialist (E4). At that point, you can request to go to Special Forces Assessment and Selection. If you complete SFAS, then you'll have the opportunity to advance in the selection process to the Q-Course. Once that's done, you'll be assigned to an SF unit.

The requirements for being accepted into Special Forces Training are as follows: * U.S. Citizenship. Male between the ages of 20-30 (G.I. Jane was fiction; SF Training is not open to females). * High School Graduate (No GED). * A GT (General Technical) Score of 107 or better, and a CO (Combat Operation) Score of 98 on the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery. * Qualify for Security Clearance at Secret level. * Qualify and volunteer for Airborne training. * Complete DLAB (Defense Language Aptitude Battery) or DLPT (Defense Language Proficiency Test) with acceptable score. * Score a minimum of 60 points for all APFT (Army Physical Fitness Test) events and a combined score of 229. * Complete the Pre-Basic Task List successfully. These qualification met, provided you are accepted into the program, training will consist of three tiers: # SOPC (Special Operations Preparations Course) - As the name implies, this is a preparatory level of training. As with all Army training, what comes before prepares you for what comes after. SOPC is a thirty day course at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, designed to prepare soldiers for the second level of SF training, SFAS (Special Forces Assessment and Selection. Emphasis is on physical conditioning and land navigation. # SFAS (Special Forces Assessment and Selection) - SFAS is the 24 day survival training portion of SF Training. Candidates are assessed physically, mentally, psychologically, and emotionally. Completion of this level, passes the soldier on to the third tier. ## Individual Skills Training - IST is comprised of land navigation, small unit tactics, and live-fire training exercises. ### 18B - Special Forces Weapons Sergeant ### 18C - Special Forces Engineer Sergeant ### 18D - Special Forces Medical Sergeant ### 18E - Special Forces Communication Sergeant ### 18F - Special Forces Assistant Operations and Intelligence Sergeant ### *Additionally there is a Special forces Enlistment Option open to new recruits. 18X is not an actual MOS designation, however it entitles the recruit soldier to try-out for Special forces training. Upon completion of the first portion of qualification training, the 18X will be given opportunity to choose one of the five Special Forces MOS's. ## MOS (Military Operational Specialty) Training - During this phase the soldier receives individual training in his selected MOS. There are five options: ## Collective Training - Composed of SF Doctrine and Organization training, Unconventional Warfare Operations, Direct Actions Operations, Airborne and Airmobile Operations. Soldiers are assigned to ODA's (Operational Detatchment Alphas) through which common and specialty skills will be evaluated. ## Language Training - soldiers are trained and evaluated for proficiency in at least one foreign language. ## SERE (Survival, Resistance, and Escape) Course - It is what the name implies, and is the toughest portion--mentally, physically, psychologically, and emotionally--of training and assessment for all Special Forces candidates. Completion of the SERE Course ends training. # SFQC (Special Forces Qualification Course) - This is a five phase training course:
